If you are having itching in the web spaces and other flexors of the body you can suspect scabies. In men scabies do affect the genitalia and erythamatous papular lesion may be seen. However canine transmitted scabies usually present with atypical presentation like itching on the abdomen and other parts which come in contact with the pet. For treatment i would prefer giving Permethrin 5% cream for local application at night time ( single day application below the jaw line on whole body). Application of betamethasone cream will reduce the pruritus. Cetrizine 10 mg will control the pruritus. Consult a vet for treatment of the pet.
